Ingredients

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

2 smallish onions, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
8 cups of water
2 cups of lentils
1 vegetable bouillon cube
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon turmeric

Directions:

Saute the onions and garlic in a large soup pot (I use a little oil; I''m sure you can use Pam, water or stock if you''re concerned about fat).

Add the remainder of the ingredients, bring up to a boil and then turn the heat lower and simmer for about an hour, stirring occasionally. I just cook until it tastes right. Generally I''ll cook it covered for 30-40 minutes and then leave the cover off until it''s done. I don''t know if that makes a difference though.

I''m sure you can add carrots, celery or other veggies to this but I like it with just onions and garlic. I take it to work for lunch.

Serves: Serves maybe 6 sides or 3-4 main courses?

Preparation time: 20 min + 60 to cook
